Looking solid to begin the growing season. Shiroji is everything we've come to expect from Richard, beni looks nice, and the pattern is nicely laid out. The frame looks to have good growth potential to push toward 30" within a few years if my read is correct. What are your expectations for this season?

I would think that 22" by fall is possible, especially considering I have cut my fish load in half and am feeding the best food I can get my hands on this year.

Ethan, some really nice kohaku you have. What are you feeding this year and who was the breeder?

I started off with feeding Tomigai, and am now feeding Kenzen. Temperatures of the pond have fluctuated quite a bit between 60 and 72 degrees over the last month, but now are at 72 and should stay there and above for the duration of the summer.
